Boho Glam beach inpired editorial shoot in Maui shores

I'm absolutely over the moon to finally share my first editorial wedding inspiration and what a better way to start with the most sticking good looking soul surfer couple I’ve ever met. When I knew of Schell and Morgan crossing the ocean from California for a little Maui vacay and a 5 year Anniversary was just around the corner, I thought about the perfect excuse to make some magic happen to beat the drums for the occasion is the most fab way!  

Inspiration came from a hand made vintage crocheted table cloth and naturally flowed into a beautiful boho chic style from there. I had envisioned and designed this amazing sexy wedding gown (yes finally all those years of watching project runway paid off!) and worked closely with Erica Goldsmith, owner of Couture Events in Maui to create this uber chic boho styled shoot, hair and makeup by the so talented artist Jessica Waite who's also such an amazing creative mind, and jewelry designer Sudaura Perreault. We wanted something romantic, bohemian, and with some chic sophistication on a Maui beach with the bright turquoise ocean as the backdrop. Adding custom made gold with white crystal jewelry from Sun-Dora really created a more glamorous bohemian look that we all loved.

The DIY pallet table rested on top of sheep skin rugs which created an fabulous romantic setting. A white muslin runner flanked the table which hosted a mix match of assorted vessels, some were DIY gold dipped vases, which added a modern and sophisticated touch to the bohemian woven candle holders. We also used antique amber vessels to hold bright romantic florals and added some local raw coconuts to give it a local flair. Cake Fanatics made a deliciously perfect hand painted mini cake set on top of a gold pineapple as the serving platter.

Carrah + George { Colorful Hawaiian elopement at secret beach Maui}

I'm absolutely so happy to share this explosion of colors of what Carrah and George's sweet elopement. If you could only imagine my excitement when Carrah send me her pinterest board it was as tropical as it gets. I put all hands on crafting the most exotic yet Glamorous bouquet and floral crown upon request of my sweet bride. It was just the prettiest way to tie the knot Hawaiian style. 

This sweet couple from California made my day flourish so much, it was an early morning in Makena cove and with a little help of the best Minister in Maui {in my humble opinion Laki } it just couldn't get any better than that. What an amazing time sharing the love and joy of this trully beautiful people. Just the perfect way to get Mauid!.
